Thank you! ....he would make a cool...@Sue...Hi Sue! Thank you! ....he would make a cool Christmas card for next year..... :-)<br /><br />@Janice....I know. I love seeing new birds. I didn't see him today....boo! I hope he has not flown the coop. I'll keep an eye out for him tomorrow.<br /><br />@Roy...maybe he's just a late migrator. I don't know. I just know we've never had one in our backyard, and I'm happy! I've seen them in the trees around the Little Miami River and the Great Miami River...and elsewhere, but never in the suburbs. <br /><br />@Sandra....I was definitely ecstatic when I saw him at our feeder. I literally froze in my tracks as I walked across the living room and saw him on the feeder. His double red stood out.....and I almost jumped up and down! :-)<br /><br />@Roy....thanks, Roy! It was such a surprise. Birds are the frosting on the cake!! :-)<br /><br />@Kathy...thanks, Kathy. I do too. I didn't see him today, but then again, I wasn't around much to see, so he might still be there. <br /><br />@Anne - Thank you, Anne! <br /><br />@Guy - Wow....you must have good suet to keep them so far north. :-) I hope mine stays around. I put another suet feeder in the yard, so now I have 4. Hopefully one will always be open when he comes around!<br /><br />@Laure - Thanks, Laure! Well......it's been cold, but I have tons of winter gear, so when I go out, I don't really feel the cold (except on my face). I miss having the windows open....and wearing shorts instead of boots and snow pants! :-) I want to be in Florida like you!!!!<br /><br />@Carol - Thanks, Carol! I would love for this fellow to stick around until Feb!!! I imagine he will be moving on soon, though.<br /><br />@Ena - thank you, Ena!! Abrazos! :-)<br /><br />@Paul - Thanks you, Paul!! Wow-o-wow! A Yellow-breasted Chat though the winter! That would be wonderful. I hope he sticks around for you. Good luck!! :-)<br /><br />Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-73770855061506931022016-01-22T17:39:14.379-05:002016-01-22T17:39:14.379-05:00Great images of this terrific bird.
